Bad things happen to the people you love
And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly I never had much sympathy
Cause those bad things, I always saw [bad word] for me

I'm [bad [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] away and [bad word] [bad [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] away
Show em that your color is black

Bad things happen to the people you love
And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly I never had much sympathy
Cause those bad things, I always saw [bad word] for me

It would take some time just to see me shine
For the whole world to see me here in all of my light
But honestly i've given up on all the fight
Till one day I'll have you here wrapped up in my light

I'm [bad [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] away and [bad word] [bad [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] away
Show em that your color is black

I'm [bad [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] away and [bad word] [bad [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] [bad word] away
Show em that your color is black

[semi-unintelligible speaking]

Bad things happen to the people you love
And you'll find yourself praying up to heaven above
But honestly I never had much sympathy
Cause those bad things, I always saw [bad word] for me

Bad things happen to the people you love
And you'll find yourself calling up to heaven above
But honestly I never had much sympathy
Cause next time you're praying, you'll be praying for me
